FIREWATER

By Zhee

Behold the immaculate idol
Sculpted with fervent rapture,
Baptized with auroral mirages
Its intoxicated eyes could capture….

Pirouetting, waltzes of sublimation,
All desires in a chalice poured,
The liquid fire igniting reverence
For all that sobriety left abhorred.

Dissipated in forgotten dominions –
Memories of a different road,
Embracing the abraded paradise
Blazing rivers of wine bestowed.

Infernal thirst lies unquenched,
Eroded crevices crave in dire,
Scalded idol vertiginously staggers –
Venturing to stifle fire with fire….
